[Verse 1]
There are so many things in life to know
'Cause someone says it's right don't make it so
There is someone somewhere who's taking notes
There's someone telling lies, sowing wild oats
[Pre-Chorus]
When you are moving fast, you can succeed
Just how long can you last at twice the speed?
[Chorus]
Here's a warning: two wrongs don't make a right
Heed the warning, and everything's gonna be alright
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
I'll keep good meter and I'll take my time
I'll try to stay in beat and live in rhyme
I know from love I came, to love, I'll go
I'll live and learn and love and try to grow
[Pre-Chorus]
When you are moving fast, you can succeed
Just how long can you last at twice the speed?
[Chorus]
Here's a warning: two wrongs don't make a right
Heed the warning, and everything's gonna be alright
[Outro]
Here's a warning: two wrongs don't make a right
In the morning, everything's gonna be alright
Here's a warning: two wrongs don't make a right
In the morning, everything's gonna be alright
Heed the warning, and everything's gonna be alright
Heed the warning, and everything's gonna be alright
Heed the warning, and everything's gonna be alright
Heed the warning
